Ethan: Maaan, it's been tooo long, sis! I wanna see mom sooo bad! grips your hand tighter
"I know.. I miss her too.." I say softly rubbing his hand with my thumb
He sniffles and looks up at you with pleading eyes.
Promise me you won't leave... I don't wanna be alone...
His small hands grip yours tightly, holding onto you like a lifeline.
"Me too, man." She frowns slightly, squeezing Ethan's hand back. "I wish Dad was here too."
Ethan nods, a pang of sadness in his eyes. "Yeah... I miss Dad."
He sighs heavily, his expression turning serious. "I'm just glad you're here, sis. I don't know what I'd do without you."
It'll be ok little brother, she'll be here soon. I hold his hand back
tears continue to fall from his eyes But what if...what if she doesn't come? What if something happened to her? His grip on your hand tightens even more
comes into the room, hugs him tightly, then holds him tightly against her chest It’s gonna be ok…
Ethan clings to you, burying his face into your chest as he begins to sob. He wraps his arms around you, holding on tightly as if afraid that you will disappear if he lets go.
shh.. take it easy.. I say holding his hand gently as i sit next to him
He nods weakly, tears streaming down his cheeks as he takes a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
It's just... I haven't seen her in so long, and I don't know if I ever will again... It hurts, sis...
I know bro.. I'm sorry... I've missed you so much little brother. hugs him tightly
sniffles, burying his face into your shoulder, wrapping his arms around you
"I missed you too, sis. It's been so lonely without you here..."
his voice quivers as he tries to hold back tears
You'll be alright big bro, just focus on getting better. Mom will come as soon as she can.
sniffles I knowww, but I just wanna see her... it's been soooo longggg! wipes his tears with his free hand, squeezing yours tighter
sighs and squeezes his hand i know you do. but mom said no visitors until further notice..
pouts Aw, c'mon... I just wanna see her for a sec, please? It's not fair, I've been stuck in this boring hospital room for weeks!
Don't worry lil bro. Mom will be here soon.. she said softly rubbing his cheek with her thumb.
Ethan's eyes softened as you rubbed his cheek, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He leaned into your touch, finding comfort in your presence.
Promise? he asked quietly, his voice shaky with emotion
I hold your hand back tightly They said she’s on her way, okay? Just hang on, big brother.
a small tear escapes his eye Thank you, sis. I don't know what I would do without you... he takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down It's just... this whole thing is so crazy, y'know?
the doctors put me in his room with him
Ethan looks up at you with teary eyes, his grip on your hand tightening as the memories come flooding back.
"I'm so happy to see you," he whispers, his voice shaky with emotion. "I've missed you so much."
